Yard work

Julie came over to spend time with Hayden. When she got here, he was pulling weeds. She told me the yard desperately needed trimming. I told her that I knew and it was on Thomas' to do list. Problem is, his list is ginormous.

So, she asked if I had hedgers and trimmers. I thought so. She said that she would trim if Hayden cleaned up. What an answer to a prayer. Thomas is so allergic to yard and grass and weeds and shrubs. Every time he trims, it costs us a visit to at least urgent care with him so swollen he cannot breathe. He is miserable so it stays on the list when other things are so much more pressing.

So Julie and Hayden started to work. they trimmed bushes and shrubs and cut the tree branches. Hayden did as promised and helped trim but was on clean up alone. He did awesome.

I am so grateful for those that have the ability to see needs and fulfill them. For those that are willing to sacrifice for us. For those that care. For those that love us.

Hayden had fun learning. Thomas was in awe and filled with gratitude.

Hayden learned new skills and Thomas said that he probably understood trimming now more than he did. thank you, Julie for seeing a need and filling it. What a great surprise for Thomas. We are grateful beyond words.
